Abstract
Expression of concern for ‘Effectiveness of some novel heterocyclic compounds as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 1 M HCl using practical and theoretical methods’ by Abd El-Aziz S. Fouda et al., RSC Adv., 2021, 11, 19294–19309, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1RA03083C.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the AFM images in Fig. 10a and b and the IR spectra in Fig. 11 and 13. An investigation is underway, and an expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
